Sixx is a hosehead but Too Fast for Love is a 10/10 perfect album

Post by Chip Z'Hoy »

Had an edible and put on Too Fast for Love and let me tell you something, mister: Not only is every song on this great, every song on this is a CLASSIC.

How involved was Mick Mars in the songwriting? Because I do not understand how a kid--Nicholas 6--who barely knows what music is can write "Merry Go Round" and "Piece of Your Action" but now that he's got his 10,000 hours in, he can only pinch off crap like "Cancelled" and "Dogs of War" every 5 years.

"Chippy, what about 'Starry Eyes'?"

WHAT ABOUT IT????

Song kicks ass. Try a little tenderness, hold your starry-eyed gal the way she's supposed to be held.

"But Chippy, what aboot what we Canadians call Shoot at the Devil, eh?"

Way better than Shout.

Shout is where they started to think in terms of CONCEPTS, which was the beginning of the end for the Crue boys. Next thing we knew, Nikk Sixx thinks he's a photographer.

Sad!

They got gradually worse as a live band over time too . Now they are Milli Vanilli .

guitar solo on ‘piece o action’ is tough to beat

I’ve also wondered how it’s possible for a band to turn to suck so hard.
There’s virtually no residue of the classic band left

Great album, but probably the Crue album i listen to least these days. And by Motley Crue albums i obviously mean thier 80s releases. The ones that matter.

I dont like it that much. It has its moments, but not that many of them. When they ditched this proto punk/Sweet/Slade vibe to do the Kiss/Priest hybrid with SATD was when they got good. (For one album, anyway)

Merry Go Round is bad and no one's gonna convince me otherwise.

If it was their only release it would be a cult classic, they would be underground legends and punk bands would be still be covering songs today.

I consider it one of their worst. Maybe 2-3 good songs, at most. It's rough and tough and sets the stage for "SATD," but compared to the Ratt EP, it just isn't very good.

And in this alternate universe, there's a documentary about this mysterious L.A. band Motley Crue, with the end being them getting back together for a reunion concert.

Alternate universe me watching the movie: "I sure hope Motley Crue gets back together!!"

Vince Neil looks the same.

It's good and among Crue's best output, but far from perfect. These guys never were close to "perfect"

Yeah, perfect might not be an appropriate description as much of it's appeal is the raggedness. Same for Aerosmith, Megadeth, Metallica and a whole slew of remarkable debut albums.

LOVE "TFFL", I had no idea it even existed until AFTER I heard "Shout", which is my favorite Motley album.

What’s up with the end of the title track?
They pitch shifted Vince’s voice into Mickey Mouse

Thumbs up
TFFL & SOTD are excellent, no filler, I'll still crank both.
TOP, GGG & DF - There are some great songs in there, but not many.
DOD - Primal Scream is the last quality song they released. I'm not feeling anything after that.

The album is fun and has plenty of energy and attitude, but most of the songs, at the end of the day, aren't so great; however, for a debut album from four dirtbags, not bad at all.

Not as good as Shout at the Devil. Good album, but don't care for Vince's vocal sound.

If it hadn’t been for SATD I doubt this message board would even exist.

Both too fast and shout are masterpieces from start to finish. It was downhill from there.
